Abstract
Sorting endosomes (SEs) are the regulatory hubs for sorting cargo to multiple organelles, including lysosome-related organelles such as melanosomes in melanocytes. In parallel, melanosome biogenesis is initiated from SEs with the processing and sequential transport of melanocyte-specific proteins toward maturing melanosomes. However, the mechanism of cargo segregation on SEs is largely unknown. RNAi screening in melanocytes revealed that knockdown of Rab4A results in defective melanosome maturation. Rab4A-depletion increases vacuolar endosomes and disturbs the cargo sorting, which in turn lead to the mislocalization of melanosomal proteins to lysosomes, cell surface and exosomes. Rab4A localizes to the SEs and forms endosomal complex with AP-3 adaptor, Rabenosyn-5 effector and KIF3 motor, which possibly coordinates cargo segregation on SEs. Consistently, inactivation of Rabenosyn-5 or KIF3A/B phenocopied the defects observed in Rab4A-knockdown melanocytes. Further, Rabenosyn-5 associates with Rabaptin-5 or Rabip4/4' and differentially regulate cargo sorting from SEs. Thus, Rab4A acts a key regulator of cargo segregation on SEs.
